I like West Marine
After a re-cut of my jib I needed a short cable (pendant) about a foot long to go between the swivel and the sail. The West Marine person said they do not make these to order (liability reasons) but walked me thru the whole process. She helped me pick the right wire cable, the correct crimps, and the correct thimbles that go in the loops. Also gave me directions on how to do the crimping right. I had a friend with me so he held everything and I did the crimping. The WM lady said to just bring the empty bags for the parts to the register and tell how much and what size cable to ring me up. I would be surprised if they not only didn't say anything about crimping wire connectors but would probably suggest it or the West Marine I go to is just full of nice people.
